Integrating Environmental, Social, Governance and Business Strategy

“A non-financial materiality assessment is an opportunity for us to engage with our stakeholders in a very unique way,” said Barnes. “One of the things we can do is identify risks, opportunities and challenges that are coming down the pike. It’s an opportunity for us to understand the full scope of what environmental, social, governance (ESG) does to create value for our business, and also what it does to help our business create value for society.”

As our CEO Mitch Barns recently discussed from the main stage at the recent Consumer Goods Forum, sustainability efforts can help companies drive growth, profitability and value. We believe doing so requires linking ESG opportunities to our core business strategy.
